Fire Dancing Art at Kiezburn Burn Night some years

Fire Dancing Art at Kiezburn Burn Night some years ago..
Photography is art and is what you make out of it..
Is this a tool for creativity or just making easy peasy pictures..
In the same way the AI can be used very creative with fun and joy, like a game..
or just a stupid shortcut to avoid own thinking and doings.
Banning is kind of stupid as you do not radically use or misuse it.
art is always a bit beyond the regular usage..

Fundraiser for a burning man camp:
KAMELS TO THE PLAYA
4th April 2025 in
Panke Culture - Gerichtstrasse 23 a 13347 Berlin Wedding

🌍✨ Berlin & Burning Man fam — we invite you to stand with us in our shared commitment to collective liberation!

Join us for a night of community, music, and sacred joy - at our fundraiser party to help our SWANA members to join our camp!

We are the Kosmic Kamels, a global collective of artists, activists, and healing justice advocates with roots in SWANA and the Jewish diaspora. Since 2019, we’ve been gathering at Burning Man (on Indigenous Paiute land) and beyond to cultivate healing, connection, radical transformation, and collective liberation.

In 2024, the devastation of genocidal violence and forced displacement made it impossible for us to organize our camp. But we’re not giving up. With your support, we’re coming back in 2025—stronger and more committed than ever. 🌟

We’ll be blessed with performances by:

@thedarvishofficial 🧜🏼‍♂️
@mygolem_is_here as The Psychedelic Tsadik
and more drag performances

And a 🔥 DJ lineup:
@xanax_attax ⛓️‍💥❤️‍🔥

Please carefully consider your travel plans, very

Please carefully consider your travel plans, very especially to Burning Man.
Participating in a Burn or Art Project can be seen as work..
Helping your camp the setup can be seen as work and with this
you not only can denied entry at the US Border but also getting detained.

"A criminal conviction in the United States, false information regarding the purpose of stay, or even a slight overstay of the visa upon entry or exit can lead to arrest, detention, and deportation upon entry or exit," says the german foreign ministry..
So.. at least do not bring any artistic tools like tattoo machines, drawing pen, camera, ...
Get a clean trash smart phone for travel and DO not do art-customer talk in advance on social media.. (never.. !!)
Expect your luggage getting intensive scanned.. using dogs to sniff any suspicious substances..

Better go to our regional european burns like the new burn in "Castle Dornburg" close to Magdeburg mid September..

We have reserved September 19th to 21st 2025.

And let us tell you: this raw (rooooaaaarrrr 🦁 — wait, wrong animal… 🐻) diamond is a beast of possibilities. No plug-and-play, pure burn (and sorry, no chandeliers in this castle)

But with great freedom comes great responsibility (and some serious paw power). We need YOU to join the pack early! 🐾💪

Why you should pre-register: (1) help us plan, (2) get early information and access to memberships, (3) join the crew!

Pre-register now and tell us how you want to contribute! Pre-registering does NOT mean you have to buy a ticket—but it helps us plan things like budget, ticket prices (we promise it’ll be more than affordable! 💰✨), and participant numbers. 🐾✨ https://forms.gle/zEyfmm1J5992Z6LPA

„Pink ip Up“ is an art for the castle burn in

„Pink ip Up“ is an art for the castle burn in Beesenstedt now mid march.
It calls themselves as an „The Art Experience Saloon - Pink it Up“.
The idea is to make a collaboration of various artists and non artist to create not only an art but an art concept room.
The room will have a huge art work with pink balloons, but also a small stage, mic and pa for some stqndup performance like singing, story telling, making music, poems, discussions, ..

A morning glory chanting yoga circle is planned, pink drinks and more..
and maybe someone might come up with some kinki stuff for after midnight.

It is the idea of that concept
is to keep this an open stage, an open option for every burner especially in our team but also much more who wants to contribute his own way into art which might be small or bigger...
in a cozy small environment.

Lets see how it works.

The Brain Child Sculpture
from Michael Christian
at Burning Man 2015

The Brain Child seemed a little strange to me but I had to admire the creativity of Michael Christian from Berkeley, California. And gradually, as I looked at the kid’s big feet, he grew on me. “I love celebrating the inquisitive spirit of play and exploring the plurality of forms that can be expressed through biologically inspired shapes and patterns found in nature,” Christian said in describing his sculpture. Burners were invited to climb around in the ‘brain’ and serve as ‘neurotransmitters.’

Temple of Promise at Burning Man 2015.
The lead designer was Jazz Tigan.

As the bm journal wrote:
The Temple of Promise is a guide. It’s a calming hand, and it’s a listening ear. Nestled in its center is a grove of trees. It’s no tower or pyramid or other such shape dictated by logic alone. It is no less a temple for its lifelike forms. It is more.

Scattered amidst the flow of the Temple area, wooden sculptures shaped like stones form a soft boundary. The tapering spiral of the main structure provides shelter and quiet.

It is and hopefully remains what we make out of it. This means really what everyone will make out of it..
Either you contribute or if not stay at home..

This is some basic information you should know for

This is some basic information you should know for yourself, for friends in need and all others you might find in need to support.
Panic attack is a near death experience and very very painful..
Especially in a festival, burn, rave or some non-default experiences this could happen..
( Don‘t be surprised that such an attack can last for hours.. )

responsibility is not only four yourself but also to support yourself others in need..
go check them out - ask if they are okay..
if you feel unwell, request some help!

Castle Beesenstedt ( @beesenstedt ) the Wintergard

Castle Beesenstedt ( @beesenstedt ) the Wintergarden was already the „Art Experience Zone“ for a ZBB burn some years ago as seen in this photography from @contre.jour .
It might become now soon again one as
„Art Experience Saloon“ which aims to be a kind of a cultural camp and place for stand up comedy, life music, small workshops, art expression, story telling and radical self expression within the room on the small stage while we will build a balloon fairy tale , Alices dungeon in rose aka the castles rabbit hole.

Ich hoffe ihr seid alle gut in das neue Jahr gestartet. Nach kleinen Unterbrechungen finden weiter alle Veranstaltungen in der Burner Embassy Berlin statt, voraussichtlich bis Mitte/Ende März. Danach werden wir mit den verschiedenen Burner-Events weiter im Containerdorf bleiben. Wo genau, ergibt sich hoffentlich in den nächsten Wochen (und zu welchen Kosten). Wir werden vermutlich im März noch eine Auszugsparty steigen lassen, und danach hoffe ich, dass sich alle noch an ihre Leihgaben für die Burner Embassy erinnern, dass die Gegenstände im Container ihr altes (oder ein neues) Zuhause finden.

I hope you all got off to a good start in the new year. After a few small interruptions, all events at the Burner Embassy Berlin will continue to take place, likely until mid/end of March. After that, we'll carry on with various Burner events within the container village. We'll hopefully figure out exactly where (and at what cost) in the next few weeks. We'll probably throw a moving-out party in March, and after that, I hope everyone remembers which items they loaned to the Burner Embassy so those items can find their old (or maybe a new) home in the container.

Happy New Year 2025

For mid September there is something new in the pipeline, yes another castle!! but everything will hopefully new..:-)) ( will announce this later)
The plan is to bring up the energy of participation with Besi… to have the spirit available for the new universe on the european burn playa.

Judith ( @judyintheskynet ) a burner from Vienna passed away yesterday as she decided to not want to stay longer on this Playa..
after such a long period in her life facing mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) aka Long Covid.
We are mourning her loss and thinking of her.. to have a good trip beyond this world.
Please join into our wishes for her and her friends and family.

Please also check her so nice instagram with her story, her art and her fight for awareness about this illness, her fight to do art and explain her point of view.. to extend our reality as her gift.

Whenever we do an art exhibition again in our embassy or a regional burn we hope that we can add her art work into this..
